The year Konoha 55 was the most difficult year since the village's founding, and the closest it had ever been to destruction.
It was also in this year that Tsunade, the granddaughter of the First Hokage and princess of the Land of Fire, returned to her loyal Konoha after several years away.
And at this critical moment, she took over the position of Fifth Hokage.
"What did you say? Naruto attacked Konoha?"
In the Hokage's office, Jiraiya looked at Tsunade, who was sitting in the Hokage's seat, with disbelief written all over his face.
"Yes, the old man said it himself. Naruto has mastered the power of the Nine Tails, as well as the Flying Thunder God Technique, and he also possesses a Ninjutsu similar to the Tailed Beast Ball, but with far greater intensity, making him very difficult to deal with."
Tsunade couldn't help but rub her temples. She had only been the Hokage for a few days, and this mountain of problems was already threatening to crush her.
She felt like she had been dragged in by those old geezers to take the blame, but right now, there was no one else in Konoha who could take this position.
A ninja village cannot be without a Hokage for even a day.
"But, why would Naruto do this? He is the son of the Fourth Hokage," Jiraiya still found it hard to believe.
Tsunade couldn't help but glance at Jiraiya, a man nearing fifty who still had the air of a young girl about him.
"Have you not been back at all these years?"
A look of guilt appeared on Jiraiya's face, and he nodded.
"Then take a look at these first."
Tsunade took a stack of documents from the drawer and pushed them in front of Jiraiya.
Jiraiya immediately began to read, but with each document he read, the expression on his face grew uglier. After seeing the last page, he slammed the documents on the table.
"That damned Danzo, how dare he treat Minato's child like this!"
Tsunade looked at Jiraiya with the eyes of someone looking at an idiot.
"Do you think Danzo alone could have caused such a big impact?"
Jiraiya opened his mouth, wanting to refute something, but in the end, he closed his mouth, feeling a sense of sorrow in his heart.
Old man...
"Does Anbu have any current information on Naruto?" Jiraiya asked.
Tsunade shook her head and said, "The key issue now is not Naruto's matter, but to deal with the affairs of the three great ninja villages first."
"The Sand Village is already massing troops on the border of Konoha..."
...
While Konoha was in a state of panic, the situation on Naruto's side was excellent.
Relying on the control of the Sharingan, Naruto quickly obtained the identity of the Feudal Lord from the Feudal Lord of Wave Country, while the original Feudal Lord continued to live his original life, but in some unknown place.
Gato was also still alive. Under the control of the Sharingan, he became one of Naruto's puppets, and his Gato Company still existed.
As a world-class shipping company, it was incredibly terrifying in terms of making money, more than enough to support a Wave Country.
After all, Naruto appeared to be the Feudal Lord of a country, but the entire population of Wave Country was only a few tens of thousands of people, less than even the population of Konoha Village.
Also because of this, Naruto directly adopted a system of centralized power. For small countries, centralization is the most efficient means of governance.
Although there is a lack of high-level personnel at the moment, Naruto has still simply set up the internal organizational structure.
Naruto is the leader of Wave Country, with three major executive agencies set up below him, namely the Social Affairs Commissioner, the Finance Commissioner, and the Military Affairs Commissioner.
Among them, the Social Affairs Commissioner is responsible for the humanities and public welfare activities in Wave Country, that is, responsible for publicity, education, medical care and other issues, with Yakushi Nono as the chief person in charge.
The Military Affairs Commissioner is the military force of Wave Country, and is in charge of public security in Wave Country, responsible for the execution of government orders. Although the members are all composed of Uchiha, there are also Zabuza and Haku as two extra-personnel, under the command of Uchiha Izumi, but directly under Naruto.
The Finance Commissioner is the financial center of Wave Country, and is also responsible for reviewing the identities of people entering and leaving Wave Country, and carrying out unified management of foreigners in Wave Country. However, due to the lack of suitable financial personnel, Naruto is currently responsible for it. As for the task of reviewing and managing foreigners, it is carried out by the subordinates of Gato Company.
After Naruto became the new Feudal Lord of Wave Country, he also announced this matter to the residents of the entire Wave Country, but no one cared about it. The existence of the Feudal Lord was just a decoration to them. They only cared about whether they would have food to eat tomorrow.
"First of all, what needs to be solved is the problem of food for the people of Wave Country."
Inside the Lord's Manor conference room, Naruto put his hands together and placed them in front of his chin, saying with a serious face.
"The land in Wave Country is not suitable for growing crops, so the main source of food here is fishing. Generally, fishermen catch fish in the coastal areas and then take them to the urban areas for sale."
"It's just that because the shipping lanes were controlled by Gato before, most of the fishermen's boats were taken away, so the source of food in this area is not enough. But even in the past, it was difficult to obtain enough food by fishing alone."
Yakushi Nono informed Naruto of the current food situation in Wave Country.
"Well, there's no need to worry about the food problem."
As far as the current situation is concerned, with Gato's company, Wave Country does not lack financial funds. At the same time, as a first-class shipping company, it is also relatively convenient in terms of transportation.
In this case, it is quite simple to solve the problem of not having enough to eat.
"From now on, let Gato's fleet bring back enough easy-to-preserve food every time they are outside."
"Of course, this is only temporary, and we must also research food suitable for local cultivation in Wave Country."
Speaking of this, Naruto suddenly thought of a very good tool person, who not only has experience in managing the country, but also has strong scientific research capabilities. There is probably only one person in the entire ninja world.
I should get that snake over here first, so he can save me a lot of trouble.
It seems that the industrial level of the Land of Snow is also very high, especially in Chakra technology.
The others looked at Naruto, who suddenly started thinking while talking, and looked at each other in dismay. They wanted to remind him, but they were afraid of disturbing him, so they simply waited like this.
"Sorry, I just thought of something."
Fortunately, Naruto quickly came back to his senses, apologized to the others, and then turned to Yakushi Nono and said.
"Nonou, have you decided on the locations for the Ninja Academy and the Hospital, as well as the several seafood processing plants and ninja tool manufacturing plants?"
Yakushi Nono nodded, then took out a map, placed it on the table in the conference room, and circled several places on it with a pen.
"As for the Ninja Academy, there happened to be an open space at Gato Manor before. The area is just right and safe enough, so it's good to build it there. The Hospital can also be built next to it; then the seafood processing plants will be built in these coastal areas; as for the ninja tool manufacturing plant, there is a small iron mine in this small mountain, so we can choose to build it next to it first, and then move it to the coastal area after the iron mine here is used up."
The others all looked at the places chosen by Yakushi, and they were indeed the best choices in Wave Country at present.
Naruto also nodded in satisfaction and said, "Then follow what's on this map. You should draft a suitable recruitment plan in the next two days. If it's appropriate, announce it. As long as you participate in the labor and complete the corresponding work, you can receive the corresponding food."
"Of course, more work, more gain; less work, less gain; no work, no gain. The cost of food will also be deducted from their monthly salary at the end of the month, and we will strive to arrange a job for all the unemployed vagrants in the country. If there are not enough jobs, send them to build roads, bridges, and reclaim wasteland, as long as there is work to do."
"Understood." Yakushi Nono agreed, this was originally the duty of their Social Affairs Commissioner.
"If anyone tries to gain without working, or takes the opportunity to snatch other people's food and cause trouble, let Uchiha Izumi handle it."
"Yes." Uchiha Izumi responded immediately.
"That's all for now. At the same time, we must strengthen the investigation of people entering and leaving Wave Country. The ninja world is estimated to be turbulent for a while during this period."
"Yakushi Nono, Izumi, you stay, the others can leave."
"Yes!"

I will try to gloss over this kind of plot in the future.
